I think you are making it harder than it really is. Just make the picture black and white or posterize it and then add the colors you want over top using solids and use the pen tool to cut out the colored shapes. Maybe I am not understanding what you want, but this would be much simpler than colorama. Colorama takes image input and remaps it to a specific color output. ie greyscale to a color wheel. I don’t think you need that effect for the poster look. Are you trying to do this to video?

Thank you very much. Genius!

Havent tested it, but I use Particular A BUNCH and it appears that it is the total particle count, normal and aux, that matter. I dont see much difference in speed one vs. the other. BTW, remember that if you use motion blur, specifically subframe sample, all of those samples count as particles. So if you use a subframe sample of 10, multiply your particle count by 10. I routinely use hundreds of thousands of particles and the rendering speed is not too bad, even on my laptop.
Hope this helps,
Mike

Yep,
You are the MAN! Thanks so much.
Best,

Dan,
I see you have a script on your website which is pretty darn close. It reads lines of text and creates new layers from an external text source. This would be ideal, just need to read individual characters and spaces. Also, instead of creating new layers, although this would work, could it just display the selected character?
Thanks

Why not use a displacement map made from a layer, circle effect and animated turbulent noise layer. It will get you pretty close. Just mask out what you don’t want effected.

Hey Lamont,
Never heard back from you. Do you still want the animation? I have it already rendered in HD format with Global Illumination. I am sure we can work something out.

Lamont,
Any decision on moving forward?

Lamont,
I have about 3 hours invested in the modeling, rendering, and compositing thus far. Depending on the size you need, I anticipate another half hour to set up the flicker free gi and do a larger, final composite. All told, probably 4 hours without any major changes or tweaks. Since it is for a church, I would bill $50 an hour or $200. Obviously, if anything major needs to be revised, we will have to discuss that. If this works for you, let me know what size you need. Also, did you want the purple text to be a little more 3d to match the animation?

That depends on what you want or need. If you like the animation as is, and just need it rendered out at a larger size, that is one thing. If you want to change some stuff and this starts getting into a bunch of hours going back and forth, that is another. I assume you are a 501C(3) non-profit church. Tell me what exactly you need, size and duration and tell me what you think is fair compensation, and I will probably go for it.
